Need Crossfire bridge (UK)

[sod16]

That is right, my XFX black editions didn't come with one and I don't know how to ask XFX. + Also I am not willing to pay 60p ($1) a minute to call them.

Anywhere I can buy one or some how contact XFX?

What's the GPU, by the way?

 

[sod16]

That would be good if I was living in America. I'm in the UK.

HD6870 + HD 6850 both black editions.

Why'd you get two different cards? You know they'll perform as two 6850s.

 

[sod16]

because I got one cheaper.

 

[kajabla]

The 6870 cheaper than the 50? Impressive.

 

[sod16]

That is £29.. WOW that is overpriced... Any way I can RMA one from XFX, I have no idea how to use them. I know they said it is possible.

 

[sod16]

It was off a friend who didn't want it.

 

[sod16]

Unfortunately for me I have to give back my p9x79 deluxe because the damn PCI E 3.0 (2nd slot) is dead!

 

[kajabla]

Possible to somehow get one from them? Go for it.
Yes, it's possible to Xfire them. http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-6850-6870-crossfirex-review/

Can you trade it in for a Z68? lol
If you're only gaming, SB-E isn't necessary.

 

[sod16]

I'm not gaming on SB-E, 3DS max will be the program.

BF3 uses up at most 20% of the CPU...

 

[kajabla]

Wrong on that. Multiplayer will eat up two or three cores fairly well, though SB or better won't have any problems.

ya!very wrong on that,my quad amd 980 o/c to 4.2 runs in the mid 90% range on all 4 cores while playing bf3(even intel)(and both 6950's clocked to 6970's run at 90+%),the game loves more cores.And apparently lots of everything.my ram usage while playing sits around 5.2G.

oh,and if your mobo is crossfire compatible,didnt it come with a crossfire bridge?it should.
